KENILWORTH, N.J. & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics today announced that molnupiravir (MK-4482, EIDD-2801), an investigational oral antiviral medicine, significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization or death at a planned interim analysis of the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT trial in at risk, non-hospitalized adult patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. At the interim analysis, molnupiravir reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50%; 7.3% of patients who received molnupiravir were either hospitalized or died through Day 29 following randomization (28/385), compared with 14.1% of placebo-treated patients (53/377); p=0.0012. Through Day 29, no deaths were reported in patients who received molnupiravir, as compared to 8 deaths in patients who received placebo. At the recommendation of an independent Data Monitoring Committee and in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), recruitment into the study is being stopped early due to these positive results. Merck plans to submit an application for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the U.S. FDA as soon as possible based on these findings and plans to submit marketing applications to other regulatory bodies worldwide.
Somewhat low numbers of patients hospitalised, in both trial arms, for drawing conclusions from. Study was stopped to offer all patients drug though, due to good interim results.

Article on the more realistic death counts and excess deaths.
The data is not that 'new' as it is the source used by FT and The Economist, from where it occasionally filters through to MSM.
Article is about the people behind the building of the dataset, and the how and why.

So, if you will wind your mind back to how stupid the "miracle drug" ivermectin shit was, it came about from some ridiculously high concentration screening assay. If that wasn't bad enough, they used the standard vero cells, which are monkey kidney cells, and for the purposes of covid had about zero relevance to the various epithelial cells of the respiratory tract.
It has not only become well known that vero cells are irrelevant for covid, but all this shit is creating useless treatments for people around the world.
All those fuckwits who call themselves "front line doctors for covid" or whatever, should have their stock trades investigated. At best morons, at worst criminals.
I've upvoted this but have to say I understood none of that first paragraph.

Certainly. If you don't want to hear the answer, if you just want to berate someone with your own opinion, why go to the trouble of having them?

That’s a 2:18 sound bite. Rogan casts are 2-3 hours long. I’m sure he had his chance to counter.
Fwiw, I agree entirely with Rogan there.
